Breaking: Foo Fighter Gets Off

A judge ruled today that Susanna Foo won’t face charges stemming from an incident in late September where Foo allegedly hit a meter maid who ticketed a delivery truck outside her Center City restaurant.

Foo is entering a a six-month probationary program. She’ll also give cooking lessons as community service. (Aww, isn’t that nice!) Sez lawyer-to-the-stars Richard Sprague:

“She is innocent of what she was accused of. The end result is the case is being withdrawn. It is being dismissed. If I was representing any of you and you had charges against you, instead of having go to trial and having all the delays and uncertainties, and knew the case was being dropped, I think all of you would agree that is a good deal.”

But it’s not over! Foo is now considering action against the Parking Authority and the meter maid who said she was punched by the restaurateur. But of course: This is Philadelphia, after all.
